CASTLE OF VEZIO
Lake Como
Art, Culture, Nature
At the center of Lake Como, on the promontory overlooking Varenna, the Castle of Vezio has stood for more than a thousand years, where, in a setting of unparalleled natural beauty, the history, art, nature and culture of the area come together in perfect harmony.
In this very old military outpost you can visit the Mediterranean gardens, the furnished dungeons, the city walls, wander among the ghosts and works of art, climb the tower that contains a permanent exhibition on the Lariosaurus, the throne room and copies of medieval armor and weapons, and from the top of which you can admire a wonderful 360-degree panorama of Lake Como.
We hope that Vezio Castle can provide you with a pleasant break of relaxation and harmony in contact with nature and can immerse you, with its very ancient history, our didactics and occasional historical re-enactments and falconry demonstrations, in an atmosphere of other times.
